So, I got schooled on chrome yesterday. Particularly, how chrome wheels in the state that uses mag-chloride for every fooking slight snow shower, are slowly being eroded away.

How did I come to this spectacular conclusion? I came out to a flat tire after work. Got air in it and went to Discount to get a repair. Maybe its a nail or even a screwdriver (I've had that before)? Negative! The chemical has worked its way under the tire and has eaten away enough that the bead isn't sealing.... The salesman says they now discourage customers from chrome wheel purchases.

I would've been stuck with new wheels and an $900 charge to visa... if I didn't call Woody's Wheelworks (an MRA class sponsor) and confirmed this mag shit is eating chrome "everything" on cars. Oh, and Woody's only charges 60/wheel to blast the interior chrome off so the tires will seal. Love that shop!!!
